On a rainy night, a beautiful woman is found brutally murdered in a sealed room. The doors and windows are locked from the inside, with no sign of a break-in.
The victim bears traces of the sinister earth found in ancient tombs. By her pillow lies an antique jade ornament steeped in yin energy for a thousand years, leading to a magnificent ancient tomb sealed deep in the mountains for a millennium.
Shen Yanci, the male lead, is an expert in tomb feng shui, mechanisms, and criminal investigation. He moves between unsolved cases in the city and ancient tombs buried underground.
Su Wuning, a beautiful, aloof tomb raider; Lu Chengye, a greedy black-market kingpin; and a band of fellow grave robbers, each with their own agenda: everyone has secrets, and everyone is suspect.
Quicksand traps line the tomb passages, bloodthirsty jiangshi roam everywhere, and the resentment of a thousand-year-old coffin chills to the bone.
Beautiful women draw close, flirtation concealing deadly intent. Every tangled affair becomes a fatal murder case.
Human desire, the sinister forces of ancient tombs, and a string of murders intertwine, layer upon layer.
Only after opening the long-sealed coffin does the truth become clear: the deadliest forces have never been the evils lurking underground, but bottomless greed and love twisted by obsession and hatred.
